Saturn in Aries | 2025 - 2028
Impact of Saturn and Change of Sign
On May 25, 2025, Saturn will (temporarily) move into Aries, the first sign of the zodiac. Saturn will begin a new cycle of 29.5 years and will spend approximately 2.5 years in Aries. Saturn has a major influence on the world and on your life. Read all about the energy and role of Saturn in Aries.
Energy and Role of Saturn
In our book Your Being we have described Saturn as the planet of laws and judgments. How you see the world and others see you. From astrology, Saturn is linked to traditional, top-down structures, boundaries and limits.
Relation with Karma
In addition, Saturn is the planet of karma. The Lords of Karma are connected with it. These are the energetic 'judges' of karmic contracts. For example, they can dissolve contracts when they no longer serve the purpose of your life lessons.
Saturn's position makes karma come forward in a particular area. Intended to be resolved. This applies globally, as well as personally. Of course this is linked to your own unique programming and the conjunction of the planets at that time. In other words, to what extent you are "triggered" by the position of Saturn (transits) at a particular time and have karma to resolve on that level.
This often manifests itself through authority figures who hinder, slow down, or block what you want. It is related to the Forces of Resistance that come into play as soon as resistance arises. This means that if you have a belief within yourself that you don't want something or that you are resisting something, it will appear in your life so that you can learn to deal with it. If you don't learn this, it becomes a blockage; resistance. The more often you attract these forces, the stronger they become. Essentially, it's about dealing with authority figures and being your own authority.
Saturn judges all your decisions and gives you back what you have given. In other words, have you learned or ignored the lessons that have come your way?
Saturn in Aries 2025 - 2028
Saturn helps you recognize boundaries and set your own boundaries. There is only a fine line between setting your own boundaries and crossing someone else's boundaries. This is something to pay attention to with Saturn in Aries, because Aries is associated with willpower, focus, and courage. It is action-oriented and contains the energy to tackle something. Aries is all about doing. Being proactive, achieving goals and desires. It stands for the “I am.” Individuality.
Although the energies of Saturn and Aries are contradictory, this placement can cause you to view and judge situations primarily from your own point of view and perspective. When this energy prevails, it can become rigid. Things must be done this way and no other. It can even become such an obsession to achieve something that you are willing to give up everything for it.
Initial Energy: Harmony Between Karma and Dharma
What is special is that as soon as Saturn enters Aries, Mercury is at 0 degrees of Gemini. Mercury is the ruler of Gemini, which amplifies the energy. Mercury forms a sextile with Saturn and thus immediately influences Saturn's energy as soon as it enters Aries.
With Mercury's energy, personal growth takes precedence over materialistic matters. The inquisitive nature, wisdom, and intelligence associated with this energy enable you to view things from a broader perspective than just your own.
In our book Your Karma we stated: Being healthy in life requires a balance between the energy of Saturn and the energy of Mercury. The energy of Mercury to be able to look at the situation from a broader perspective. And the energy of Saturn to assess the situation while considering your own boundaries and respecting the boundaries of others.
En dit is precies wat we qua energie krijgen op het moment dat Saturnus aan zijn nieuwe cyclus begint en precies op de wereld-as staat (0 graden Ram is de wereld-as). Dit is een dag voor de nieuwe maan in Tweelingen die deze energie verankert als een nieuwe start.
Saturn and Neptune Side By Side
Saturn is also conjunct Neptune. They move back and forth between the first degrees of Aries and the last degrees of Pisces, before moving completely into Aries in 2026. Neptune is ethereal and Saturn is material. Neptune represents imagination and Saturn represents reality. Neptune stands for the bigger picture and Saturn stands for structuring it.
Who Am I?
Aries represents the “I am.” With Neptune in Aries for about 14 years and Saturn for more than 2.5 years, the theme “Who am I?” will play a major role. And not just in the physical dimension, but as a multidimensional energy being that is part of the greater whole.
This combination of energy helps you stand up for your ideals, realize your dreams, and take control of your life. To live your true essence in physical reality. Especially when you carefully utilize the action-oriented energy of Aries. Energy always arrives in a range of frequencies. So you can experience it in the lower frequencies or in the higher frequencies.
On February 20, 2026, Saturn and Neptune will be exactly conjunct at 0 degrees Aries. This is precisely on the world axis. This means that we are likely to see the effects of this energy on the world stage. Incidentally, they will also form a sextile with Uranus, the planet of innovation, awakening, and rebellion. And with Pluto, the planet of transformation, destruction, and rebirth. So this could bring huge shifts and changes.
Since Saturn's orbital period is much faster than that of Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto, Saturn quickly moves ahead and gradually diminishes the energy of the conjunction and sextiles. What remains is the energy of Saturn in Aries.
To find out what Saturn in Aries means for you personally, look at which area of life (house) Aries is in, whether you have planets there, or opposite, square or in other angles that form aspects with it. There are numerous websites with a tool that provides a visual representation of your natal chart based on your date, time and place of birth. The numbers in the inner circle are the houses (1 to 12).
Impact of Saturn: Retrospective
Saturn in Aquarius 2020 - 2023
To illustrate how big the impact of Saturn can be, let's look back to when the planet entered Aquarius, the sign of freedom: March 22, 2020. The following day, limits to freedom were set; global lockdowns were declared.
In the period that followed, the laws and judgments were quite expressed. Worldwide, freedom-restricting emergency laws have been created, freedom of speech has come under pressure and a division in society has emerged where people condemn each other.
Also, many people now view the world completely differently than before and relationships have changed; how you see each other. More about the transition of energy that has taken place en more about the Aquarian Age we are in the beginning of.
So we can say that Saturn's energy has a great influence on the world and your world.
Saturn in Pisces 2023 - 2026
On March 8, 2023, Saturn entered Pisces. Saturn is the most mystical and spiritual sign. It is associated with illusion and disillusionment. It is linked to water and wants to flow. Where Saturn represents structure, Pisces does the opposite. Worldwide, we see traditional, top-down structures being washed away, creating space for new, serving structures. Pisces is also one of the serving signs.
In addition, Saturn in Pisces is about realism and maturity in ideals, dreams, and spirituality. Is it just ethereal, or are you able to realize and materialize it?
Saturn will (temporarily) enter Aries on May 25. In mid-August, Saturn will return to Pisces, completing its transition to Aries in 2026. The planet will move back and forth between the first degrees of Aries and the last degrees of Pisces. When a generational planet is in the last degree of a sign, its energy is intensified. The planet finishes what it started before moving on into a new sign to do its work there.
